My thanks too. LOL It took the viewers sometime to figure out their role. Sometimes I felt like the viewers were sabotaging the chance to have a vote at the end. Kinda like if you don't like a person on your team and you foul up their chances at making a score just because you don't like them.

Why do you want to help him out???? I mean come on if he is playing for us then he should be doing what we ask..... not what he wants to do instead.. he is either playing for us or for eric..... IF he had tried to save Nick last week then there wopuld have been no banner plane and he could have when on with everyone still going ummm now I think people know but just don't want to know.... I used to like him but now it is plain to see he also used us..... remember he is getting paid over and beyond what the other houseguest are...

but only if he completes tasks .. and if we sabotage him .. he can't complete the tasks and therefore does not earn extra money. If we "help" him by playing the game and telling him in one word names who he should target instead of messing with him .. we could get him to the final .. or at least get him to the jury and have a vote! .. That's my goal at least.

Fan3....I think he was still getting his footing. It was obvious that Kail wasn't going. He pushed for Kail as much as he could without endangering himself. There were countless times they sat up in the HOH and Eric pointed out all the reasons to vote Kail out. It didn't work. Then he had to posistion himself as a good "group of 7" member. Better to have him still in the game than to risk himself by not lookimg like a team player. I don't see the big deal if you are looking at the big picture as having him/us make it to the jury. He had to play the game even before the AP choice was made. He couldn't have foreseen it was Kail. So if he jumped the gun with Nick it was an error but not enough for us all to cut off our noses to spite our faces.

I don't think people realize that Eric doesn't intend to ever have to give us a vote in the finale. He plans to be in the last two. I'd like to help help him out...OUT THE DOOR

He DID what we asked him to do! HIS VOTE WAS FOR KAIL TO LEAVE! The producers at CBS said so! In emails to CBS production CBS stated that all he had to do was vote for Kail and thats it! He didnt have to convince anyone else how to vote. ENOUGH SAID

I'm pretty happy that it was Jessica. Was it obvious from the feeds? I think America's Player is a fun twist and my expectations of him fulfilling exactly what America tells him aren't as high as some people. I'm sure he was enormously relieved when he saw the result.

Eric isn't playing for America, he is playing for himself and he proved that when he chose to lie and blame his votes and actions on Nick for his own gain. In no way does he deserve our "help".

We have to take these votes and use them as if WE were in the house. Thats the essence of the vote for AP. Messing around with it and causing trouble wasnt the jist of having the AP twist. To abuse that power is wrong.

I enjoy the twist and I don't want to mess up Eric's game (and prevent him from getting to the jury so he can vote for us). However, I think everyone has the right to respond to the twist in whatever manner they want.

No, Street. Eric is representing "ME". If I want Eric to do something, that's how I'll vote. I don't particularly care to do what's best for Eric. Heck, I didn't even choose him, and he would definitely not be my choice for AP. Note that I didn't really like Eric anyways, and still don't. And any ways, the only REAL power we have is the vote for eviction. That's the only task that Eric can't fail at, or choose not to do (or do halfheartedly).

Thanks, Jimmer, I feel the same way. We all have our own vote and can do with it what we like.

Eric has no problem "abusing" his power. He is carrying out the role as AP with disdain and clearly could care less what America's votes are. He is playing for himself, and that is not what he was put in that house to do. What's more, the beauty of voting in America is that no one has the right to tell anyone HOW to vote.

There are pros and cons concering how Eric is playing the part. He has done what was asked of him, although he failed on the evictions, that was no fault of his. However he did set himself up to look bad and that was his doing. He has done a great job with Jessica, playing her like a fiddle. His error with the Kail votes is that he should (I am speaking from hindsight) have just been up front and stood his ground and told them what he was going to do. By pushing the blame onto Nick and Jen is what has gotten him in trouble..among other things. I don't think that Eric will be put up, don't know why but I think that Danielle has someone else in mind.

The difference in opinion lies in whether or not you think Kail or Nick was the best choice for eviction. It appears that some people think that whatever weakens D&D (Nick being evicted) was best for Eric. Some feel that evicting Kail (thus weakening Dustin) is the better choice for Eric. My personal opinion is it would have been best for Eric to stay in the mode of getting out Kail or even Zach. By pushing for Nick's eviction, it put him at odds with D&D, and up until then, he was sitting pretty right in the middle of the LNC. From going by his DRs, the only real issue he had with Nick was that he was "the stud" and Eric wasn't. I've heard people say that Nick would have nom'd Eric. That could only happen if Nick got HOH, and I don't think Nick was even trying to yet. So basically Eric just jumped too soon. If he wanted to side w/Dustin & Amber once the LNC broke up, that's fine. But knowing that there was a good chance America was going to vote for Kail, he jumped the gun a little too quick jumping on the bandwagon to get out Nick. The reason I'm disappointed in him as AP is he thinks he knows more than we do. He should look at the info being given to him thru the votes, and trust US that we know more than he does. He has just gotten a little too cocky for my liking...... JMHO

Are you sure it was for Jess? Because while he told Jess that she was his number 2, he also told her that he might go tell someone else that they are just to see how fast it spreads around the house.

Did they say America's pick was Jameka?? That would be so funny because a day before Eric had promised Jessica to take her in F2. I think BB is messing with Eric.. I won't be surprised if they show Eric telling Jessica (remember when Eric was trying to explain his innocence to Jessica), then America's pick as Jameka and he has to make the same promise to her... that would be funny.

Hypermom it sounds to me like it probably was Jameka so he has to cover himself with Jessica. Hopefully this won't backfire on him although I know some hope it will.
